Greetings g-listers, Some of you will know me from the P-book list which I've been on for ages, though mostly lurking for the past year or two.
My very trusty PB1400c has been showing signs of strain, all fixable but enough to get in the way of work, so I recently found a Tibook 400 in fabulous condition for a good price. Decided to just get it and start the switch over.... A couple of newbie questions to help get me up to steam. 1) Will a 2.0 USB PC card port give me 2.0 speeds or is there an internal bottleneck? (How can you tell I've been using a 1400?) 2) As I understand it, any of the battery numbers for the 15" Tibooks (A1012/M6091/M8244/M8511) will work. Did they get better with time? 3) I take it the choice was either a CD-RW drive or a DVD-CD Rom, which is what I got. Is the swap easy? Is there a third party option to have both? 4) I've heard hinges are a problem for some? These ones seem fine. What happens? 5) Can I load OS9.1 straight onto it, then boot from it with a key combination? (It has 10.2.x and 9.2.x but old software might need 9.1 -- I'll see first if the software will run in classic. Anyone using Word 98 with Endnote 4 in classic?) 6) Any advice about things to watch out for would be appreciated. Best to you, Rick -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
